Seats

Reported Dec 17, 2021 · Corp. Micro Bird, Inc.

Summary

Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2013-2021 G5 transit buses. The fold-away seat, adjacent to a side emergency exit, may obstruct access to the emergency exit release handle and instruction label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Consequence

Occupants may have to unfold the seat to access the exit handle and instructions, delaying an emergency evacuation and increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Micro Bird will provide inspection instructions to owners. Dealers will apply a new instruction label or relocate the emergency exit as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 15, 2022. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 21-089-FUC.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
